than % to 80 cents barrel, and quite dis
count is made from even this, when several
barrels are taken. Similarly foolish is the
statement that meal sells at 10 cents hundred
more in Brattleboro than In other places. The
only truth in it rests on misunderstanding.
That Is, meal from No kiln dried corn, may
be sometimes sold for 10 cents less in other
places than meal from No corn Is sold in
Brattleboro. Or when the marRet Is changing
il may happen that meal costs 10 cents
more here than three months before
or afterwards somewhere else. But
for the same grades at the same
times Brattloboro prices are five cents less
tween Greenfield and Brattleboro last Saturday
illustrate this. When meal brought $l.l0 at
BrattlebOro, Sl.l5 at Greenfield, wheat bran

seed meal Sl.35 at Brattleboro, $l40 at Green.
field; and Gree field as one Of the most enter.
prising places in New England affords fair
comparison. Mil feeds have advanced 81 or
S5 ton since last fall, and it is TACT that they
are selling in Brattleboro to day for less than
they can be bought, because the Valley mill
2any had large stock on hand, and hav.
ing no confidence in the permanence of the rise
prefers TO sell at a fair profit on the old pur
chasing price rather than to change back and
forth. This has been so all winter and the
farmers ought to appreciated it. The complaints
about apples probably result from the variations
in quality and market SO that it is impossible
10 make any just comparison. The truth about
Brattleboro is that il has larger and better
ssIo,s, better assorimcnts and lower prices than
any other place. Purchasers understand this.
The only trouble is that because by a lack OF
shipping facilities which could not be Sc
cured until our board OF trade took hold
of the matter in an organized way,
il has not been good place for farmers to sell
their produce. What could be consumed here
has brought good price, but the surplus has
been unstable at any price almost, and some
OF the farmers have been left out In the cold.
Our market day arrangement remedies all this.
Several of our enterprising firms are taking
whatever Is brought 10, guaranteeing the pay,
looking out for the market and shipping at
charge OF only half a cent pound for butter,
and proportionally for other produce. This
does not begin TO pay for their trouble, they are
benefited only by the improvement OF trade
and the increase of sales. Already farmers
who have hitherto been TO keene, No Adams,
Bellows Falls and Greenfield. are bringing their
produce here. and are satisfied with the results.

been that the merchants have moved
with the spirit OF the age, and the
country store, containing n little of

way to magnificent emp0rlums,
dealing exclusively In one line Of

A KINDLY TRIBUTE.

The following article of commen-
dation upon the election OF w. II.
Taylor rs mayor OF this city, is taken
from the Salt Lake Tribune. Be-
sides the elegant tribute to Mr.. Tay.
lor the editor pays deserving COM
pliment to this territory, the i'm
portance and prospective greatness
If which is beginning to be recog-
nized throughout the country:
The Tribune Is right glad to note
that w. II. Taylor, formerly one Of
the ppprietOrs of this Journal, has
been elected by a handsome ma
jnrity mayor of Spokane Falls,
Washington territory. There is no
better little gentleman In the world
than w. II. Taylor, and we are sure
that the honor which has just been
bestowed upon him IL amply de-
served. BY the way, Spokane Falls
is to he the Minneapolis of the far
west. 1t has Il very much finer
water power than the Mississippi
supplies to st. Pauland Minneapolis,
aud the banks, unlike those of the
Mississippi, are vt Spokane, solid
basaltic rocks. The town is forging
head at the double quick; It i,
M"krd by splendid agricultural
region, and to the northeast and
south are mines which are making
d, tremendous stir. 1t Is an honor to
he elected mayor of II place ike that,
lOr it is of course understood by the
voters that the gnvernmentOf city
during the first years Of its career
may be of infinite evil or good to the
place for years and years to follow.
The men of Spokane Falls may rely
upon the prudence, integrity and
courage Of Mayor Taylor TO do what
he believes tO be right, and never to
do anything until certain that 1t
il right. AS TO that northern cOun-
Try, not many people realize Its pos
sibilities. 1t IL u region which in
the coming few years Is to assume
n most potential place In this repub'
lie. Washington territory has an
area greater than the New England
states, and possesses infinitely greater
advantages by land and sea than
does New England. It has millions of
acres of most productive land; 1t has
glorious inland water ways;it has
Puget Sound, In which all the worlds
ships might rendezvous in II safe har-
hOr aud not be- crowded; 1t has q
glory of forest lands which no east
ern man comprehends, and 1t possess
es mineral wealth which will In the
next twenty years cause the fair
land to glitter with mighty cities
and great manufactures. II
should have statehood at once,
that the sovereign protection which
goes with statehood might be over
III its Industries and place a guard
upon its marvellous undevelOped
wealth. 1t Is going to be y land OF
plenty, and In the hands Of the
brave people who possess II nc
other spot in America holds out q
more enchanting promise To the mar
who hopes by clear brains and strong
trms tO forge out 4 grand inheri'
tance for his children.
